Aspirin being prescribed in Third Trimester
My sister who is 30 weeks pregnant, has been prescribed aspirin by her OB..
She is quite concerned about this due to things that she has read that suggest that it is not advisable... The baby is quite small, it is about 26-27 weeks growth at present. The OB said that by taking the aspirin this may thin her blood causing better blood flow through the placenta.. The ultrasounds which she is currently having every 2nd week to monitor the baby's growth, have all been good, with no apparent problems with the heart, placenta etc - she has been advised that it may just be a small baby... She has finished work due to the OB's advice and is resting.. Has anyone had any experience with taking aspirin in the third trimester?? Is it normal to increase blood flow through the placenta??
